Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"In federal administrative procedure it has been recognized that an administrative agency is not precluded from announcing new principles in an adjudicatory proceeding. NLRB v. Bell Aerospace Co ., 416 U.S. 267 (1974). These adjudicatory or contested case proceedings can and do serve as vehicles for the formulation of agency policies applied and announced therein. NLRB v. Wyman-Gordon Co ., 394 U.S. 759 (1969). The choice between formal rulemaking and ad hoc litigation is left, in large part, to the informed discretion of the administrative agency. SEC v. Chenery Corp ., 332 U.S. 194 (1947)."”
